Coming to the grammar-oriented audiobooks, they are rather minimalistic, and their contents vary widely from one book to the other.

More importantly, these dialogs are usually based on real-life scenarios which you might encounter if you are living in France or visiting the country. While I speak Spanish, and German, have studied Hungarian, Arabic, Italian, and dabbled with Korean, I don’t know any French.

Finally, if you’re just looking for some audio lessons to supplement whatever other resources you’re learning with, then look into some podcasts and YouTube channels. If you do find the fact that the audio is all in French to be a bit too challenging, you’ll be happy to see that the English translation is given in the transcript.

I would recommend to study with the book and to use other materials for the listing and speaking practice! Then I read an article by Lucy Kellaway, co-founder of Now Teach, about her decision to retrain and it reawakened a thought I had had for a long time about teaching. The stories and situations are interesting and relate mostly to the everyday lives of a French family. After the chapter is over, you reach the study guide in the transcript which has a different audio file. The majority of this review will focus on the audiobooks with options available for beginners up to the upper intermediate level.It saves your place as you read, you can choose whether or not you want to see the translations, change the font size, and more.
